I knew men kept no promise—or none At leapt with woman—and yet knowing this, With credulous folly still I trusted one Whose void seemed en like truth, that I forgot The lesson I hid learnt full oft before; Anil I believed, because he said he'd come, 'that he would come—and then, night alter night, I watched the clouds and saw them pass away From the bright moon, and leave the clear blue iky A. spotless, and serene, and beautiful As if no piomises were broken e'er Beneath it. Man forgets in his busy hours M' hat in his idle moments he has said, Nor thinks how often woman's happiness Hangs on his lightest words. It is not things Of great importance which affect the heart Most deeply. Kisses often weave the net (If misery, or of "bliss of human life There's many a deep and hidden grief that comes From sources which admit of no complaint; From things of which we cannot, dare not speak ; And yet they seem hut trifles, till the chain, Link after link, is fastened on rock thought, And wound around the heart. They do their work sectesy and silence ; but their power Is far more fatal than the upon sh•lts 11l sorrow arid misfortune ; and they prey 17pon the hesrt and spiri t, till the broom Of hope is changed to lever's hectic flush.

TINE ANGEL ('HILI) BY FANNY FERN Little ',Kathie bad no mother. She was Plight and sweet, and fragile, like her type,' the lily of the valley. Ifer little hand, as you took it in yours, seemed almost to nick in riot clasp. She had large, dark eyes, whose depth, with all your searching, you might fail to fathom. Ifer cheek was very pale, save when some powetful etnuutiuin lent it a passing hush ; her fair, open brow, might ttave defied an angei's scruti ny ; her little foot-fall was noiseless as a falling snow-Bake ; and her yoke was sweet and low as the last note of the bird ere it folds its head under its wings for its nightly slumber. The house in whielt Nable lived, was large and splendid. Vii would have hes itated to crush with your foot the bright flowers on the thick, rich carpet. The rare old pictures um the wall were marred by no envious cross-lights ; light ;mu! shadu were artistically disposed. Beautiful sta tues, 111101 the ScUllitAT 0 .41.:1111-i111.irC , 1 I haul risen front a feverish couch to finish, lay bathe: iu the rosy light that streamed through the silken curtains. Obsequious servants glided in and out, as if taught by instinct to divine the unspoken wants of their mistress. I said the little Mable hail no mother, and yet there was a lady fair and bright, of whose beautiful lip, and large dark eyes, and graceful limbs, little )table's were the I mimic counterpart. Poets, artists and sculptors, had sung and sketched, awl mo delled her charms. Nature had bete mast prodigal of adornment—there was only one little thing she had forgotten—the La- I dy Mable had no soul. She did not forget. to deck little ?stable's limbs with the costliest fabrics of twist u nique fashioning ; not that every shining ringlet ou that graceful head was not ar ranged by Mademoiselle Jennet, in a strict obedience to °niers ; not that a large nur sery was not fitted up luxuriously at the top of the house, filled with toys which its little owner never cared to look nt not that the Lady Mable's silken robe did not sweep, once a week, with a queenly grace through the apartments, to see if the mim ic wardrobe provided for its little mistress fitted becomingly, or needed replenishing, or was kept in order by the smart French maid. Still, as I said before, the little !lia ble had no mother I See her, as she stands there by the nur sery window, crushing her bright ringlets iu the palm of bar tiny hand. Her large eyes glow, her eheek flushes, then pales ; now the little breast heaves' ! for the gor geous west is one sea of molten gold.— Each bright tint thrills her with strange rapture. She almost bolds her breath, as they deepen, then fade and die away ; and now the last bright beans disappears be hind the hills; and the soft, grey twilight comes creeping on. Amid its deepening shadows, one bright star springs suddenly to its place in the heavens I Little Ma ble cannot toll why the warns tears aro coursing down her sweeeface, or why her limbs tremble, and her heart beats so fast, or why she dreads lest the shrill voice of Mademoiselle Jennet should break the spell. She longs to soar, like a bird, or an angel. She had a nurse once who told her "there was a God." She wants to know if lie holds that bright star in its place. She wants to know if Heaven is a long way off, and if she shall ever be a . - bright angel ; and she would like to say a little prayer, her heart •fs,so full, if she only knew how: but poor, sweet Mahle— r 41se hue no mother. fas. mitten of voice, he yielded receive my blessing.
